I guess that’s the US version of it… In Europe you are often forbidden from working too many hours (either safety regulations or union rules) so everyone plays on an even playing field, so whoever uses their time most efficiently, goes further ahead in their career… . (or whoever is better connected, but that’s a thing everywhere)
Normally it is tied to working the same or more, but with higher output to outperform everyone else and build a career, not to going home early.
